FIREFLY

"Firefly" is the first album to feature singer John Lawton (who hade left Lucifer's Friend to join Uriah Heep) Lawton is a much better singer than David Byron but that doesn't mean that the Lawton era Uriah Heep albums are better than the Byron era albums, quite the contrary actually. But still you can tell that is is a refreshed Uriah Heep that created "Firefly" and it is better that the last Uriah Heep album "High and Mighty" ('76) and it is also better than albums like "Sweet Freedom" ('73) and "Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble" ('70). It is actually not very far away from Lucifer's Friend's "Mind Exploding" album from '76 both in quality and style. It is also much better than the second Lawton era Uriah Heep album "Innocent Victim" that was released later the same year.
